香港, 2024年9月30日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2024年上半年，由於消費者偏好和消費習慣的變化以及競爭的加劇，餐飲行業面臨著雙重挑戰。商品成本增加和價格競爭的壓力使得行業整體盈利能力下降，多家大型餐飲企業宣告虧損。在艱難的市場環境中，达势股份（「達美樂中國」或「公司」）（1405.HK）逆勢而上，構建以高質價比為核心的競爭邏輯，將市場變化轉化為增長契機，取得了顯著成績。达势股份近期發布了2024年中期業績報告。達美樂中國作為達美樂比薩在中國大陸、中國香港特別行政區和中國澳門特別行政區的獨家總特許經營商，在2024年上半年成功實施了4D戰略，即高質量的門店開發（Development）、高質價比的美味比薩（Delicious Pizza at Value）、高效的外送體驗（Delivery）和數字化能力（Digital），在充滿潛力的中國比薩市場實現了可持續增長和全面盈利。2024年上半年，达势股份收入再創新高，達到20.4億元（人民幣，下同），同比增長48.3%。穩健的收入增長反映了公司可持續的商業模式和抗周期性的戰略佈局，持續提升了盈利能力。公司的淨利潤和經調整淨利潤雙雙轉正也反映了這一成果。2024年上半年，达势股份經調整淨利潤由負轉正，達5,089萬元，相較於去年同期的經調整淨虧損1,745萬元。此外，2024年上半年稅後淨利潤達1,091萬元，同比增長24.6%，去年同期為875萬元，其主要得益於可轉換優先普通股公允價值收益約1.19億元。公司強勁的盈利能力還體現在同店銷售增長（SSSG）上，這一指標反映了相同門店在不同年度同一時期的銷售額變化。在當前市場挑戰加劇的情況下，維持同店銷售增長具有挑戰性。而达势股份已實現連續28個季度的同店銷售增長，並持續擴展業務，展現出了強大的市場競爭力。作為全球最大比薩品牌之一達美樂比薩的獨家總特許經營商，达势股份依托這一國際化品牌優勢，成功執行4D戰略，在潛力無限的中國比薩市場中不斷取得成功。2024年上半年，达势股份繼續實施「走深走廣」策略，再拓四城，新增146家門店。截至2024年6月30日，運營門店總數已增至914家，覆蓋33個城市。自2017年現任管理團隊上任以來，達美樂中國門店數量已增長超八倍。新開門店表現優異。2024年上半年，來自新市場的收入占公司總收入的61%，新市場的門店數量也已超過總門店數量的一半，強力推進公司增長。今年5月，公司在一周內進駐台州、惠州、金華三個城市。惠州和金華首店開業即打破达势股份門店日銷售額記錄。2024年6月，公司在中國成都的第900家門店的盛大開業。截至2024年7月31日，达势股份在達美樂比薩全球系統的首30天銷售排行榜中占據了前30名中28個席位。在新進入的市場中，达势股份繼續擴大市場份額，開設更多門店，同時保持現有門店的強勁表現。從2023年12月底到2024年上半年，公司在十二座城市共開設了42家門店，其中有18家門店已實現投資回報。公司預計新店的平均回本期較過去將縮短，充分彰顯其擴展戰略的高效運作。麥肯錫《2024中國消費趨勢調研》報告分析了影響消費市場的關鍵趨勢，其中一個顯著趨勢是Z世代消費者展現出更高的消費意願，尤其是在對宏觀經濟信心較高的低線城市。這一人群更傾向於探索新的用餐體驗和當地美食，為餐廳提供了創新機會，吸引這一不斷增長的市場群體。達美樂中國的新城新店吸引了眾多消費者的目光。絡繹不絕的人潮在新店門口排起長隊，達美樂中國決定暫時關閉了部分新店的外送服務，以滿足店內用餐及外帶的客戶體驗和服務質量。顧客在達美樂比薩中國新店排起長隊達美樂中國不斷推陳出新，以更好地滿足消費者日益多樣化的口味需求，為顧客提供滿意的用餐體驗。達美樂比薩以美味比薩和創意菜單享譽全球。達美樂中國平均每6至8周推出美食新品。從2024年初到7月底，公司推出了包括三種全新比薩口味在內的多款新品，並開發了兩種創新餅底，如黑金蜜汁叉燒卷邊和爆漿椰椰南瓜雙層餅底。截至目前，達美樂中國菜單擁有超過30種比薩和約20種餅底選擇。這些豐富的選擇使得比薩成為銷售額中占比最大的品類，超過75%的銷售額占比均來自於比薩。公司最新推出「火山」餅底，塑成「火山口」造型，甄選進口奶酪醬添加奧利奧餅乾碎呈現「火山熔岩」。這一新概念在比薩行業獨樹一幟，更是獲得消費者的積極反饋和認可。達美樂比薩中國火山餅底達美樂中國還為消費者提供高質價比的菜單，並推出「接二連三」（每週二和週三比薩七折優惠）和Mega Week（買一送一）等定期促銷活動。同時，達美樂中國還與騰訊遊戲、Hello Kitty等流行品牌合作推出限時合作促銷活動，深受消費者青睞。公司通過門店網絡擴展和新市場的強勁表現，不斷增強品牌形象，使品牌營銷活動更具針對性和高效。公司不斷優化會員計劃的個性化獎勵機制，提高新客轉化率和老客留存率。截至2024年8月，达势股份的會員計劃「達人荟」取得顯著的進展，會員人數已突破2,000萬人，幾乎是2023年6月時期1,090萬人的兩倍。达势股份將繼續推動消費者的積極參與，並通過多個在線渠道吸引新消費者。為滿足日益增長的需求，公司在三河、上海和東莞三個核心地區設立中央廚房。公司已經在中央廚房引入一系列自動化設備以及先進的管理系統，提升生產效率和管理能力，並改善配送效率。达势股份4D戰略的成功實施也體現在門店和集團層面的盈利指標提升上。2024年上半年，門店層面經營利潤率從去年同期的13.5%提升至14.5%。集團層面，經調整EBITDA增長至2.3億元，較2023年上半年的1.3億元增長了83.7%。集團經調整EBITDA利潤率也提升至11.4%，與2021年底的3.9%相比增長了近兩倍。除了服務消費者，达势股份仍然致力於為股東創造長期價值。在香港聯交所上市僅一年之後，达势股份已正式被納入香港恒生綜合指數成分股，並被正式納入滬港通和深港通，該變動於2024年9月生效。9月27日，路透報導稱，"中國股市創下自2008年以來最佳周表現。"《紐約時報》指出，"向來波動劇烈的香港恒生指數本週迄今為止也上漲了12.9%，該指數包括一系列在香港和中國大陸開展業務的公司。"自上市以來，达势股份股價顯著上漲，截至9月27日收盤的十個交易日內，股價上漲超過20%。达势股份早前已透露計劃在2024年開設約240家新店，並在第四季度開設第1,000家門店。截至2024年8月20日，公司已增開31家新門店，目前另有29家門店在建設中，21家門店已簽約，正按計劃穩步向全年開店目標邁進。公司預計2025年和2026年將分別再新開設300至350家門店。麥肯錫《中國市場簡報：中國消費者重新開始消費》報告指出，2024年1至2月，餐飲收入大幅增長12.5%，相關數據表明服務業強勢復蘇，原因可能在於消費者信心開始回升且人員流動性進一步回升。這意味著消費者願意在用餐等體驗上增加花費，對餐飲業至關重要。中國市場擁有廣闊的地理範圍和龐大的人口，極具吸引力且不斷增長。在這個市場中，眾多企業都面臨著如何在確保盈利增長的同時，保持戰略穩定性和韌性的挑戰。在這樣的背景下，达势股份將繼續高效執行4D戰略，為消費者提供高質價比的比薩的同時，創造一個具有可持續性長期價值的業務模式。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SYDNEY, AU, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SSLTrust, a leading global provider of digital certificates for public key infrastructure, has identified the APAC region as needing a new local issuing Certificate Authority.Verokey LogoVerokey, the new Australian Issuing Certificate AuthorityCurrently, in the APAC region, SSLTrust has been pushing international Certificate Authority products for Australia to the forefront, which has been welcomed by customers but with limited acceptance, mainly in terms of price. So launching a new Australian-based issuing Certificate Authority, Verokey, using the same infrastructure, has been very well accepted by customers to overcome that hurdle. Verokey has proven instrumental in fundamental security for Australian and Asia Pacific businesses and government entities while providing the best solutions at affordable prices. This success is in addition to SSLTrust's customer-centric approach to PKI solutions and their implementation.Unlike many other Certificate Providers in Australia and the Asia Pacific, we can provide customers with a high level of local support via phone, email, online chat and onsite assistance. We help customer manage all their Certificates through their very own feature-rich account while benefiting from the lower priced Verokey productsSSLTrust's Managing Director, Paul Baka, explains how this lets users have quality products to the likes of other Certificate Authorities but with an added level of quality support and better local pricing - a feature that's not otherwise readily available in Australia.Purchasing Certificates to secure networks, devices, websites, and more has historically been a significant headache for Australian organisations, with the costs constantly rising and exceeding allocated budgets. In the last two years alone, customers of the overseas-based Certificate Authorities have seen price increases upward of 50%. And when organisations weigh these against the benefits, they start to question the requirements of these higher-priced solutions. That is where Verokey helps by providing the same solutions and products (sometimes exceeding current offerings) while still keeping the prices affordable so organisations can maintain their security and meet budget limitations.Paulunderscores the company's unwavering commitment to meeting unique customer requests. This dedication to customer satisfaction is a key differentiator for SSLTrust, setting it apart from other resellers or Certificate Authorities and reassuring customers that SSLTrust is always ready to go the extra mile to meet their requirements, making them feel accommodated and understood.Critical features of SSLTrust's repertoire of products through the new Verokey Issuing Certificate Authority include (but are not limited to):More competitive prices than were previously available in APACRapid service and streamlined issuance processesPKI Certificate Lifecycle Management SolutionsAmple support systems provided by web security expertsAs the importance of digital trust increases, so does the value of high-end SSL/TLS certificates and their ease of management.Keyko Press Release: (+61) 02 8123 0992Contact InformationHollie AcresAccount Managerinfo@keyko.com.au+61 2 8123 0992Related FilesverokeySOURCE: SSLTrust Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Mr. Wei Aiguo, Managing Director (Right),Mr. Derek Lai, Deputy Managing Director (Left)HONG KONG, Sept 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) –  AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited (“AEON Credit” or the “Group”; Stock Code: 00900) today announced its interim results for the six months ended 31st August 2024 (“1HFY2024/25” or the “Reporting Period”).During the Reporting Period, the Group’s revenue increased by 9.9% year-on-year to HK$860.3 million. The increase was attributable to the growth in interest income, driven by various marketing programs implemented in 1HFY2024/25 that successfully sustained sales growth despite the slow economic recovery. With the cost-to-income ratio decreasing to 47.0% from 48.0% in 1HFY2023/24 due to enhanced operational efficiency, the Group recorded an operating profit before impairment losses and impairment allowances of HK$426.0 million for the Reporting Period, representing an increase of 11.7% from 1HFY2023/24. Profit after tax was HK$170.4 million (1HFY2023/24: HK$191.4 million). The decrease in profit after tax was due to the increase in impairment losses and impairment allowances as a result of the rise in credit defaults and weakened economic indicators.The Board has resolved to declare an interim dividend of 24.0HK cents per share (1HFY2023/24: 24.0 HK cents per share), representing a dividend payout ratio of 59.0%.To cope with the slower than expected economic recovery and other headwinds, the Group took timely measures during the Reporting Period to sustain the increase in both sales and receivables, while making significant efforts to enhance its risk-based pricing mechanism to maximize the return from its credit card and personal loan portfolios, and utilized an effective credit risk management mechanism to reduce the likelihood of credit impairment.The Group achieved an overall increase in sales of 10.6% in 1HFY2024/25 compared with the first half of the previous year, and the gross advances and receivables balance continued to record an increase of 3.8% from the end of February 2024.With regard to marketing, the Group utilized targeted marketing and attractive promotions to better promote the competitive edge of its carefully devised products and services to the intended customers. Meanwhile, in order to diversify its branch network and meet customers’ growing demand for face-to-face advisory services, the Group continued to revamp and expand its branch network, including the opening of the new Shatin branch in June 2024 with a dedicated insurance consultation counter.To further strengthen its technological foundation, the Group has successfully relocated its core data center to Tseung Kwan O, with its infrastructure ranked top tier in terms of uptime guarantee, fault tolerance and competitive service cost. The new data center is located in a building purposely designed to meet internationally recognized green building certification standards, demonstrating the Group’s commitment to integrating sustainability into its business operations.Looking ahead, the Group will seek receivable growth at reasonable yields while managing funding expenses to increase net interest income. Flexible marketing strategies will also be adopted to broaden the customer base and service channels, leveraging on systems to boost service quality and operational efficiency. In addition, the Group will endeavour to diversify revenue streams by cultivating fee-generating transactions and insurance intermediary businesses.As credit conditions are expected to remain challenging, the Group will closely monitor the effectiveness of credit assessment and credit management improvement, as well as achieve better maturity matching, to minimize credit and liquidity risks.Regarding digitalization of operations, the Group will continue to enhance its call center platform and provide responsive customer interaction. Data analytics tools will also be further developed to heighten the effectiveness of marketing, credit assessment and credit management activities.To enhance credit card services, the upcoming introduction of the virtual credit card functionality within the “AEON HK” mobile application will provide customers with immediate purchasing capabilities right after card-approval and activation without the need for branch visits.Besides, in response to evolving consumer preferences and payment technologies, a new credit card design will be launched on 30 September 2024 to offer customers a more convenient and premium payment experience. The redesign addresses growing demand for contactless payment and uses recycled plastics, embodying the Group’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.Mr. Wei Aiguo, Managing Director of AEON Credit, said, “Despite the uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment, we will continue to devote resources to provide exceptional consumer finance services to meet evolving customers’ needs and to expand our customer base with innovative customized products. With our strong liquidity and balance sheet, as well as proven management expertise and capabilities, we are well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities in the consumer finance market to achieve better performance in the remainder of the year.”About AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited (Stock Code: 00900)AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited, a subsidiary of AEON Financial Service Co., Ltd.
